“I called her and said, I don’t know where I’m going to go because my house is swarmed [with reporters]. She was like, ‘Oh, you’re going to stay at my house.’ Like it was nothing. She let my family stay there, and any of my friends. She made sure that in the refrigerator were my favorite juices. I’ll never really be able to thank her, truly, for what she did for me.

They met when Kate Hudson did a cameo on Glee. I had no idea they got so close. Something about her having Lea Michele’s “favorite juices” makes me tear up. I think I’m just feeling sappy today. I don’t know. Anyone else? Let me know.

As for Michele going forward?

Now that I’m in this position, you can choose to rise, which is what I’m going to try to do. It’s very hard and you have to be very strong to come out of this alive, but I think by doing the best for myself, by showing that you don’t have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of strength or comfort.

Her attitude is brilliant. Good for her.

Here’s the cover. Honestly, I’m not psyched about it. The hell did they do to her makeup and why give her the early ’00s denim and jean jewelry belts??:
